About the Divison of Astrophysics

The Division of Astrophysics
(DAP), organized in 1970, engages in observational and theoretical
investigation that relates to the study of physical processes
in stars and other discrete galactic sources, galactic structure
and evolution, the early history and evolution of the Universe,
and the Sun and solar activity. Division interests also have
significant overlap with other APS divisions such as Particles
and Fields, Nuclear Physics, and Plasma Physics.
